Our objective was to identify trends and examine the characteristics of the top 100 cited articles in emergency medicine (EM) journals.
Scopus Library database was queried to determine the citations of the top 100 EM articles. A second database (Google Scholar) was used to gather the following information: number of authors, publication year, journal name, impact factor, country of origin, and article type (original article, review article, conference paper, or editorial). The top 100 cited articles were selected and analyzed by 2 independent investigators.
We identified 100 top-cited articles published in 6 EM journals, led by Annals of Emergency Medicine (65) and American Journal of Emergency Medicine (15). All top-cited articles were published between 1980 and 2009. The common areas of study were categorized as cardiovascular medicine, emergency department administration, toxicology, pain medicine, pediatrics, traumatology, and resuscitation. A statistically significant association was found between the journal impact factor and the number of top 100 cited articles (P < .005).
The top-cited articles published in EM journals help us recognize the quality of the works, discoveries, and trends steering EM. Our analysis provides an insight to the prevalent areas of study being cited within our field of practice.
我们的目标是确定急诊医学（EM）期刊中被引用次数排名前100的文章的趋势并研究其特征。
查询Scopus图书馆数据库以确定100篇顶级急诊医学文章的引用情况。使用第二个数据库（谷歌学术）收集以下信息：作者数量、出版年份、期刊名称、影响因子、原产国和文章类型（原创文章、综述文章、会议论文或社论）。由2名独立研究人员选择并分析被引用次数排名前100的文章。
我们确定了发表在6种急诊医学期刊上的100篇被引用次数最多的文章，其中以《急诊医学年鉴》（65篇）和《美国急诊医学杂志》（15篇）为首。所有被引用次数最多的文章均发表于1980年至2009年之间。常见的研究领域分为心血管医学、急诊科管理、毒理学、疼痛医学、儿科学、创伤学和复苏。发现期刊影响因子与100篇被引用次数最多的文章数量之间存在统计学显著关联（P <.005）。
发表在急诊医学期刊上被引用次数最多的文章有助于我们认识推动急诊医学发展的作品、发现和趋势的质量。我们的分析为我们实践领域内被引用的普遍研究领域提供了见解。
